Growing up, i always new that i wanted kids. i wanted to wait until i was married to the right one and pretty well settled down. Well someone from above had other plans. i was 17 when i got pregnant with my son, i graduated high school that may he was born in september. his dad and i split after he was 5 months so i was left to take care of him on my own. i was scared how was i going to raise this child with a bairly minimum wage job? but it all worked out. it was tough for a while. i had to work 3 jobs just to suppport us (no help from his dad) there were times we had to sleep in my car & other when i didn't know where i would get the money for the next box of diapers. then i got a pretty decent paying job with good benifits and ended up meetin this really nice guy. we were just friend for a while, then dated. somethings happened we split. but still were friends. i joined the air force so i went off for basic training. when i returned home we got back together. he himself had the whole selfish thing going on. he was an only child until he was 16. but now loves my son just like he were his. (should be he take care of him unlike his dad). so the whole selfish thing i pretty much dying. kids are bad at times yes, but to watch them grow and learn. the little things they say. the kiss and hug at night, the simple words i love you mommy with all my heart n much much more. this is the joy and happiness only a child can bring. though things were tough with my son and he does get on my nerves sometimes, i wouldnt trade him for the world. yes sometimes i need alone time, so my boyfriend will take my son outside or for a walk, or one weekend i'll get my mom to watch him. so its not really all that bad. the moment they place that baby in your arm your whole outlook on life your self, everything changes. so never say never, a child is a blessing it is a product of love, a piece of you, something u created. and the most precious give of all. hopefully yall will change your mind trust me you dont know what you missing
